I would buy this in an instant, for pretty much any price, if it came with the ability to actually write documents so I can take notes on it during lectures...

Unfortunately both with this and the Kindle DX that doesn't seem to be an ability even though they both have keyboards. I don't quite understand why that isn't a priority.

They said it would be cheap. In preorder it costs 649 or 799$ depending on memory size. So who might want that, if one can get sony or amazon readers for 30% of that price?

This is just too complicated, fragile, and expensive to be used as a windshield wiper. Soft rubber works best without giving that "squeak squeak" of cheaper wipers. The ability to display books and magazines also, l think, would make distracted drivers of us all. Especially during rain. Has anyone even addressed if this technology is waterproof? Or how it wipes glass in the snow?

I want one.

I do not understand whether it is possible to write notes on the text somehow...

I think you can do that with the iRex iLiad ereader.

It definitely crashes, but the emulator part was simply showing examples on the big projection screen, it doesn't look like it had anything to do with the device crashing.

I noticed thought that there were at least two very visible lines running through the longer side of the device. At 0:30 when it switches from EASY to the logo you can really see it.
